Rachel Karlin, Owner

One of the more colorful entrepreneurs of our city, Rachel Karin was ready for fingernail polish, hair and make-up at the early age of two. The Oregon born salon owner started with a career as a Seattle radio DJ, followed by 15 successful years in the corporate world. Then, serendipity brought her to Ola and made her lips pucker with passion.

Now she’s got her painted fingers into “everything Salon” – hair, color, product, make-up, and spa luxuries. At Ola Salon, her childhood vision has become a reality and she is redefining the comforts of “getting your hair done”. Her formula? Recruit the best very stylists and give them an energetic, creative environment with impeccable service.
